Amber:
I liked that she used children, it kept the characters consistent. I do think that a lot of the images were noticeably plucked from another context and then placed in her prezi without much or any editing. I felt like a lot of them were unconnected, and could have used more text to explain their connection. I also think her story would be a bit more cohesive if the boy left the girl because he didnt like her anymore or something, instead of moving away. That would then explain why she feels rejected and insecure, like she explains in the later slides. It also needed to be proof read a little more.
Deanna:
I really enjoyed the topic, and I thought the color scheme was really cute. She thoroughly explained her photograph choices, and the reasons behind certain choices she made. One suggestion for her prezi would be to keep the images close together in order to avoid too much jumping across the page. She did jump around alot, causing a lot of whizzing around the prezi giving it that "sea sick" feeling.
Kelsey:
I liked the use of shapes, I hadn't seen one set up quite like hers and it was unique, I really liked that. I also liked the cute little music notes she placed around, gave it a nice touch. The colors also gave it a creative feel, which is appropriate for her topic. I really enjoyed the metaphorical image she had, I understood it even before she explained it and I thought it was effective. I do think that her prezi could have used a bit more images though, it felt a little bare compared to others.
Estelle:
I thought the editing of the images was amazing, many of them looked like something out of a magazine. I also really enjoyed the poem she used, I had never heard of it before but I found the quotes she used to be very thought provoking. One suggestion would be to clarify the connection between the poem and the topic of schitzophrenia. I felt like it abruptly turned into something else when the photo of the girl with all her different medications. Maybe a little more textual explanation or something.
Charlotte:
I liked the concept and setup of the "loop" idea, I found that to be very effective. I found myself agreeing with every point she made, because as writer I have experienced all of the 'symptoms' of the creative writer, so I found it very relate able. One suggestion could be to clarify some of the images that were used. With her verbal explanation it became clear why she chose those particular photos, but Dr. A. always stresses the importance of the prezi being understandable on its own. So without that explanation, some of the photos might not have made sense. I would suggest just some textual explanation.
Jenny:
I liked the entire concept, I found it to be original and really interesting. I think the prezi would benefit from more images, it felt very bare and short. It should also zoom in on the text, I was unable to read the text that was there because it was too small. I feel like the topic was so interesting, it really could have blossomed into a really interesting story if it was researched a little more and bulked up with more images.
